Melts in your mouth, not in your hands? Fiddlesticks! Melts in cold water!

The original M&Ms melt experiment was conducted by Yan Liang & Zaoeyo of The Beauty of Science. Sabine.R told me about it on our last photowalk. And this week's theme was the perfect occasion to give it a try ;-) Had a bag of M&Ms at home (in fact I keep buying M&Ms ever since I first had them for MMs "Circles" theme - that stuff is addictive!). I used a clear, fairly flat small glass bowl I usually keep jewellery in (anything flat and clear will do, you could also use a culture / Petri dish), and water at room temperature. Camera on tripod (of course), operated with the remote shutter release, fairly small aperture (I tried different settings between f6.3 and f18). Lightsources were my three small LED spotlights, my DIY softbox, and daylight. Black glitter foamsheet provided the "space" background. Depending on the way the M&Ms (which I'd fixated with modelling clay) are positioned in the bowl, the "melting pattern" will change. I found it difficult to choose a photo, because they all turned out really well. It was great fun, you should give it a try, too! Thanks, Sabine, for the idea ;-)

A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

SuperMovas auf Kollisionskurs

Schmelzen im Mund, nicht in der Hand? Pustekuchen! Die Dinger schmelzen in kaltem Wasser!

Das Experiment mit M&Ms in Wasser wurde zuerst von Yan Liang & Zaoeyo von "The Beauty of Science" durchgeführt. Bei unserem letzten Fotospaziergang berichtete mir Sabine.R davon. Das Thema dieser MM-Woche, "Candy", war die perfekte Gelegenheit, das mal auszuprobieren. Und es hat großen Spaß gemacht. Ich habe eher kleine Blendenöffnungen (ab F6.3 bis zu Blende 18) verwendet, damit auch alles scharf wird. Die flache Glasschale (dient normalerweise der Ablage von Schmuck; empfohlen werden auch Petrischalen, aber ich hatte gerade keine zur Hand) habe ich auf schwarzes Glitzermoosgummi gestellt, was für den "Weltall-Effekt" sorgt. Kamera kopfüber aufs Stativ, mit Kabelfernauslöser bedient, Wasser rein und losgeknipst ;-) Je nach Anordnung der M&Ms (die ich mit Knete fixiert habe) ergeben sich andere "Schmelzmuster". Die Entscheidung für ein Foto fiel mir dementsprechend schwer. Danke, Sabine, für diese tolle Anregung!

Eine schöne Woche für Euch, Ihr Lieben ;-)
